“Do not say I use what is mine: you use what is alien to you; the indulgent, selfish use makes what is yours something alien; that is why I call it alien good, because you use it with a hardened heart and claim that it is right, that you alone live from what is yours.”
― John Chrysostom

“I do not know whether anyone has ever succeeded in not enjoying praise. And, if he enjoys it, he naturally wants to receive it. And if he wants to receive it, he cannot help but being distraught at losing it. Those who are in love with applause have their spirits starved not only when they are blamed off-hand, but even when they fail to be constantly praised.”
― John Chrysostom

“But now, instead of organs, Christians must use the body to praise God.”
― John Chrysostom

“As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a [person].”
― John Chrysostom
